- And tonight, on page 4 of the latest Stereo Review, I find, "Sony's U.S.
- plans are contingent on the passage of the Audio Home Recording Act
- by Congress and may be revised if the bill is not enacted by December."
-
- So I guess both MD and DCC is contingent on this bill. Is the Audio Home
- Recording Act and the Home Recording Rights Act that you talk about
- the same? It sounds like something new.
